The Low End of Higher Things Reviews
David Clewell is an exuberant, inexhaustible poet and an insider on such diverse American arcana as forgotten Hollywood actors, flying saucers, CIA shenanigans, comic books, cereal favors, beatnik kitsch, and jazz. His unstoppable narrative energy and his multilayered curiosity are almost enough to drive this poet out to the far right side of the page. His elegy for a federal agent who jumped out a window on LSD is alone worth the price of this collection of Clewell at his best, his most Clewellian. - Billy Collins, poet laurcate of the United States; If you are encountering Clewell for the first time, what are you waiting for, you lucky one? Open the book! - Naomi Shihab Nye
